10 Best Female Drummers Of All Time
9. Jen Ledger
The third drummer to join the ranks of long-running Memphis hard rock band, the English drummer and backing vocalist Jen Ledger joined Skillet at the age of 18 after the previous drummer (Lori Peters) retired in 2008. She had only been playing drums for four years.
Since then, Ledger has been touring the word and showing audiences that rock drumming isn’t just for boys. A perfect example of the kind of powerful beats and frenetic fills that have helped define the sounds of contemporary hard rock music, Ledger is a criminally underrated musician despite the band being hugely successful within the Christian rock community. During her countless live performances, Ledger has shown that her playing is just as fast and hard-hitting as it is rhythmically contagious and bombastic.
Earning themselves plenty of awards (and even a Grammy), Skillet is arguably the biggest band to have gone under the radar of many, especially since their music has been included in the likes of Rock Band 2 as well as their track "Legendary" being the theme song for WWE's RAW.
Ledger's electrifying vocals can also also be heard in her own self-titled side project.
